Diana has worked with us since 1991, even before she was a technician! She graduated from St. Petersburg Veterinary Technician program in 1993. So she has been a technician for 10 years. Diana loves seeing her hard work pay off when a patient recovers from a serious illness. She enjoys the effect her nursing care has on their health.

Thank you Diana for doing such a great job here!
